Li Xiucheng ordered: "Zhang Sha, go to the gate of the camp and bring them in directly after the Qing army arrives."
Zhang Sha blinked and asked doubtfully, "Will you come?"
Li Xiucheng's eyes turned cold, and his cheeks immediately darkened. When Zhang Sha saw this, he quickly stood up and exited the tent. After walking out of the tent, the warm eyes shone on his body, which made him feel extremely comfortable. As Zhang Sha walked away, he muttered: "
I really think of myself as the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou, hey, it would be fun if I didn’t meet Qing Yao.”
Zhang Sha walked to the camp gate nonchalantly and asked, "Is anyone coming?"
The soldier shook his head and said: "General Zhang, except for the foreigners who just left, no one else has been here yet."
Zhang Sha waited at the door, but no one was seen for a long time.
One hour!
Two hours!
…
As time passed, Zhang Sha became impatient and gloated a little. He respected Li Xiucheng, but he also felt a little unhappy when he saw Li Xiucheng's arrogant look.
Zhang Sha looked at the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp and ordered: "Just keep an eye on me, general. If anyone wants to enter the camp, please inform me immediately. I'm going back to take a nap to recuperate!"
"yes!"
The soldier on guard agreed and stared into the distance when he suddenly spotted a figure.
"General, people are coming!"
As soon as Zhang Sha turned around and took a step, the voice of a soldier came from behind him. Zhang Sha turned around and looked into the distance, and he really saw a figure. In an instant, Zhang Sha opened his eyes wide and showed a surprised look. Because there was only one person coming.
, he was obviously going to the meeting alone. Zhang Sha clicked his tongue and said, "Here comes a man who is not afraid of death. He is brave enough. Listen clearly, cheer me up, don't let me lose the prestige of the Celestial Army."
"yes!"
The soldiers on guard shouted in unison, straightened their chests and cheered up.
After a while, a burly figure became clear.
The person who came was none other than Lu Shaochuan's partner Zhu Wu. Yang Banhou took Lu Shaochuan, Smith and more than 2,000 other soldiers to hide. Yang Banhou decided to unite with the Taiping Army and sent Zhu Wu as an envoy.
He persuaded the Taiping Army to attack the foreigners together. Zhu Wu walked to the gate of the camp and glanced at the layout of the military camp. Seeing that the troops were in good order, he secretly paid attention to it.
Zhang Sha looked at the people coming and asked, "Is this the Qingyao coming?"
Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "I am a general of the imperial court!"
When Zhang Sha heard this, he already respected Li Xiucheng like a god. He was still thinking about seeing Li Xiucheng's joke, but he didn't expect that Li Xiucheng's words came true. It was too scary. Zhang Sha did not dare to stay, and hurriedly led Zhu Wu towards the camp.
Go. Entering the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Sha saluted Li Xiucheng, then bowed and sat down.
Zhu Wu said: "Zhu Wu has met General Li!"
Li Xiucheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know me?"
Zhu Wu said: "Although General Li has just arrived, he is not uninquiry." In fact, Yang Banhou sent someone to inquire about the Taiping Army last night. He knew that the person who came was Li Xiucheng, and he already had a general idea of the Taiping Army.
understanding.
Li Xiucheng asked: "Why are you here?"
Zhu Wudao: "Join General Li and attack the foreigners together."
Li Xiucheng said: "Not long ago, I promised the French commander Russell that we would attack you together."
"What?"
Zhu Wu exclaimed, his face changed drastically, but he saw that Li Xiucheng didn't seem to be faking it.
However, Li Xiucheng did not directly order the killing, which made Zhu Wu's heart become more active. Zhu Wu's mind turned and he said loudly: "General Li has promised the foreigners. Even if Zhu Wu has a good tongue, it will be difficult to change the general and the foreigners."
The collusion between foreigners. Zhu Wu has a head, General Li can take it if he wants."
Li Xiucheng smiled and said: "What's the use of a head?"
Zhu Wu asked: "General, won't you kill me?"
Li Xiucheng shook his head and said: "Not only will I not kill, but I will cooperate with you to attack the foreigners together."
After hearing this, Zhu Wu was filled with doubts. Zhu Wu's mission for this trip was to unite with Li Xiucheng. Now that Li Xiucheng had agreed to the foreigners, he also said that he would unite with the officers and soldiers, which made Zhu Wu almost unable to turn around. Even, Zhu Wu
Wu had already figured out that Li Xiucheng had a purpose, otherwise he would not have agreed so generously.
Zhu Wu asked: "How can the general unite with the foreigners and unite with us?"
Li Xiucheng said: "Foreigners are just barbarians, how can I unite with them? Although Shanghai Daotai Li Zhen and I belong to two countries, this is China's matter and our own family's matter. The so-called internal struggle must first be settled.
Besides, now that foreigners are rampant, we naturally have to solve the foreigners’ problems first, and then go back to solving our own problems.”
After Zhu Wu heard this, his eyes showed appreciation.
Immediately, Zhu Wu asked again: "If this is the case, why join forces with foreigners?"
Li Xiucheng continued: "The foreigners bombarded the docks and massacred the people. I already want to kill all the foreigners and avenge the dead people. Even if you don't come, I will send someone to contact you and attack the foreigners together."
"I agreed to the foreigners because I have already thought of a way to deal with the foreigners."
"Ten miles south of the camp, there is a place called Sanlihuai. The terrain is steep and it is a good place to set up an ambush. As long as you go back and tell the Qing general who is hiding outside, ask him to send a few soldiers to Sanlihuai to form a large army.
In the case of Sanlihuai, it can attract all the attention."
"In this way, I can notify the foreigners and send a thousand soldiers to go to Sanlihuai with the foreigners. At that time, we will attack the foreigners in Sanlihuai together and defeat the foreigners in one fell swoop."
Li Xiucheng looked calm and confident.
Zhu Wu was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "You went to Sanlihuai with the foreigners. How can I be sure whether you want to collude with the foreigners and ambush the imperial army together?"
Li Xiucheng shook his head and said: "It is very simple to solve this problem. When I came to Shanghai this time, I brought a total of three thousand soldiers. I sent a thousand soldiers to join the foreigners and go to Sanli Huai. The remaining two thousand soldiers were in the military camp.
Waiting for you, we will go together to ambush under the Sanli Huaibu. As long as my soldiers are with you, they will always look down upon you. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Zhu Wu showed hesitation on his face.
This method is indeed feasible.
Li Xiucheng sent soldiers to Sanlihuai with the foreigners, and went there himself with the officers and soldiers. When the foreigners entered Sanlihuai, Li Xiucheng and the officers and soldiers could ambush the foreigners.
After the foreigners are eliminated, the matter of officers, soldiers and bandits is another matter.
Li Xiucheng saw Zhu Wu pondering and asked again: "How?"
Zhu Wu said: "I have to go back and report the matter of going to Sanlihuai together, but the alliance can be decided."
Li Xiucheng shouted "Hello" and waved his hands: "Please, I won't send you far."
Zhu Wu stood up and left, and Zhang Sha sent Zhu Wu away. Soon, Zhang Sha hurried back to the Chinese army tent. After sitting down, he frowned and said: "General, what are your plans? You agreed first
We have defeated the foreigners, and now we have promised to clear the dog. Previously we said we would get rid of the foreigners and officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, but how come we have united with the foreigners, officers and soldiers."
Li Xiucheng said: "The net has been cast, and we are waiting to close the Internet cafes."
Zhang Sha's eyes suddenly widened with confusion on his face. After just a few words, the arrangements were made?
